We are Generac, a leading energy technology company committed to powering a smarter world.
Over the 60 plus years of Generac’s history, we’ve been dedicated to energy innovation. From creating the home standby generator market category, to our current evolution into an energy technology solutions company, we continue to push new boundaries.
**This role is required to be hybrid 2-3 days per week in Reno, Nevada**
Generac Clean Energy is building next generation residential clean energy systems. Our products are enabling the renewable energy rollout while saving our customers money using intelligent energy management within homes. Our software and firmware teams enable these systems to provide a seamless battery backup system for our customers, and we’re building smart energy management across the home through integrations with Generac’s other products.
Our approach takes “full-stack” to the extreme with tight collaboration between teams on every layer from firmware to web and mobile apps. Our AWS stack includes GQL, gRPC, Java, Go, Typescript, MQTT, Terraform, and a wide range of AWS tech.
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to build app backends and integrations for an unannounced future mobile app. We solve identity and data model integration challenges, integrate backends together, create scalable APIs, and produce unified gateway layers for app dev teams. This is an opportunity to play a key role bridging between existing systems and creating new systems from scratch.
What You’ll Do
- Gather requirements, network with stakeholders across Generac, and define solutions.
- Interface with product management teams, infrastructure and ops, mobile/web app teams, firmware teams, and embedded software teams as needed.
- Document your assumptions and requirements, present your proposals, iterate, achieve buy-in from stakeholders and collaborators, and set correct expectations for your work.
- Design, validate, implement, and test web services on AWS using Java, Go, TypeScript, or Python.
- Build rigorous, fully automated test suites at all levels of the stack.
- Proactively assist and mentor junior engineers.
- Contribute to our culture of pragmatic excellence.

- 2+ years of experience in IaC tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK.
- Deep, expert experience in at least one of Java, Go, TypeScript, or Python.
- Proven record of excellent end-to-end testing practice. At the end of a project, you sleep well at night knowing that your assumptions are verified, and your solutions are proven.
- Rigorous approach to rollouts and deployments. Your deployments are low stress because you already tested at 10x of current production scale, and you used techniques such as feature flags to roll out with confidence.
- An eagerness to understand how your work fits into a larger, cross-disciplinary system. You want to understand the systems and teams you interface with.
- Excellent written and verbal communication and problem-solving skills.
- A strong drive for learning and mentorship. You seek out feedback and improvement. You proactively mentor and help the Jr engineers around you.
